Hey friends! I’m Christy Jordan from SouthernPlate and I’m thrilled to be guest posting on Southern Pantry. Linda Carman is one of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet and being able to work with her in any way is always an honor and a treat.

One of my very favorite shortcuts in the morning are muffin mixes and one of my personal favorite muffin mixes of all time is the Martha White® Honey Bran Muffin Mix. A bag of that muffin mix and five minutes in the kitchen and I can turn out a dish that will make you sing!

I often use the Martha White® Honey Bran muffin mix to make apple bran muffins because the old-fashioned bran flavor just pairs so well with a good old apple. Today, I’m sharing how I use it to make an upside down apple skillet cake.

My husband’s grandmother, Granny Jordan, was the first one I knew who made apple skillet cakes like this. I actually got my recipe from her from scratch version. She had a heart of gold and was the epitome of a southern lady. Granny Jordan could always be counted on for love, grace, and good cooking!

This quicker version pays homage to her original and makes a delicious special breakfast, coffee treat, or suppertime dessert.
